Good Afternoon all,
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but figured it would be better then starting a new one.
So I ended up doing the coolant hose relocation that some of the other guys did in this thread, but the problem I'm having now is just finding a custom hose that will fit. The guy I got to weld in the bung for me welded it angled a bit high which would not allow me to use a straight coolant hose without it kinking. I was thinking of using a piece of the metal coolant pipe that got deleted from doing this, and two pieces of hose instead of one to make the route work, but wanted some advice or suggestions from what others ended up doing, and I honestly do not know where I can find miscellaneous hosing to make this custom route work. Been asking auto parts store in my area, but they treat me like I'm dumb for asking, and can find anything online that supplies hosing I need.
Here are some pics of my situation. The coolant hose you see is actually the top radiator hose. It is actually pretty close to working, was thinking of cutting this, and using a piece of metal pipe to make this work.
Don't ask the brick and mortar to find the solution for you, ask to see their hose wall and pick hoses that look like they might work.
Thanks for all the suggestions, and pics guys.
Made a trip to advanced auto today to look at all their hoses they have available, and found one that fit perfect with very little trimming. Called me a funny guy for looking through random hoses lol :P. How come it seems so many people that work at these part shops are never car people? Guess cause its just a job anyone can do.
Anyway, thanks again!
